How do I codesign an App?

Well, I purchased a month of App Wrapper 3. 

The only complaint in the App Wrapper log is that is is not Sandboxed and Apple will reject it.

App Wrapper indicates that the app and installer are successfully signed, but that Apple will reject it because it is not sandboxed.

My problem is that the file is downloaded from a web site and it won’t launch unless the user unsets their security settings. Is the problem that it is not sandboxed and, if so, how do I sandbox it? I do write to a file outside of the app folder. Do I really need to sandbox the app?

Best,
Bill
